Miso Soup for Active Digestion
Soft Cheeses Fight Bacteria
Kefir: Probiotic-Filled Drink
San Francisco's famous sourdough bread
Milk With Probiotics
Probiotics in Sour Pickles
Try Tempeh for Probiotics
Probiotic Supplements
While probiotic-foods contain live bacteria, prebiotic foods feed the good bacteria already living in your digestive system. You can find prebiotics in foods such as asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, oatmeal, red wine, honey, maple syrup, and legumes.

Rejuvelac is a fermented beverage.
How to make Rejuvelac:
1. Start with one cup soft wheat berries (pictured). You can also use rye, quinoa, buckwheat, or other grains. Wheat, rye and quinoa seem to make the best rejuvelac.
2. Soak the grain for 24 hours. Drain off water and rinse two to three times a day until little sprout tails appear.
3. Place sprouted grain in large jar. Add 4 cups water and let sit on the counter for 2-3 days.
4. You will notice that the water will get cloudy and little bubbles will start forming.
5. Taste…it should taste clean and fresh with a hint of lemon. Strain the rejuvelac off of the wheat berries and store in covered glass container in the refrigerator. It will keep for at least a week, just make sure it still smells and tastes fresh. You can reuse the wheat berries to make a second batch. It will only take a day.

Abnormalities in your immune system—such as allergies and autoimmune diseases—are a common outcome of Gut and Physiology Syndrome (GAPS), as about 85 percent of your immune system is located in your gut wall
The answer to resolving food allergies, as well as virtually all autoimmune disorders, is to heal and seal your intestines, which the GAPS nutritional program is designed to do
The answer to resolving food allergies, as well as virtually all autoimmune disorders, is to heal and seal your intestines, which the GAPS nutritional program is designed to do
Fermented foods are both potent chelators (detoxifiers) and contain far larger amounts of probiotics, compared to probiotic supplements, making them ideal for maintaining optimal gut flora
If you’ve never eaten fermented foods before, too large a portion may provoke a healing crisis, which happens when the probiotics kill off pathogens in your gut. When the pathogens die, they release potent toxins. If you’ve never had fermented foods in your life, you need to start very carefully and very gradually, beginning with as little as one teaspoon of sauerkraut with one meal. Observe your reactions for a couple of days before proceeding with another tiny portion

Eat with Caution: Why experts are wary of these six "healthy" foods
REDUCED-FAT PEANUT BUTTER
LOW-FAT YOGURT
FROZEN YOGURT
GLUTEN-FREE FOODS
HIGH-FIBER AND WHOLE-GRAIN CEREAL AND BREAD
PROCESSED SOY PRODUCTS
Has there ever been a term harder to define than healthy food? Read a few labels and pretty soon it seems as if anything that doesn't flat-out kill you can call itself nutritious. But in most cases, things aren't so obvious. Here are some ostensibly good-for-you foods that diet specialists look at with a skeptical eye.
REDUCED-FAT PEANUT BUTTER
Taking out the fat sometimes means putting in artificial sweeteners. That can add up to a savings of just 0.5 g of fat and 10 calories per serving--along with a cloying flavor.
LOW-FAT YOGURT
It starts off fine, but as with its frozen cousin, high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavorings and colorings add calories and yuckiness. Avoid the fruity kind and stick with plain.
FROZEN YOGURT
The probiotic bacteria that are part of fro yo's appeal aren't present in the same quantities in all brands. And in self-serve shops, it's easy to overdo portions, pile on toppings and rack up calories.
GLUTEN-FREE FOODS
These are a must for people who are gluten-sensitive or who have celiac disease, an autoimmune condition. For everyone else, they're just a food fad--one that often comes with extra sugar, saturated fats and preservatives.
HIGH-FIBER AND WHOLE-GRAIN CEREAL AND BREAD
A good idea--but be careful. Unless you're buying these at a health-food store, you may be getting added sweeteners and caramel coloring. And not all the whole grains are actually whole.
PROCESSED SOY PRODUCTS
The problem is the processing part, which removes healthy carbs, fat and fiber and leaves only the protein isolate. Processed soy products are also linked to hormone imbalances in some people.

the World Health Organization defines a probiotic as any living microorganism that has a health benefit when ingested. Similarly, the USDA defines a probiotic as "any viable microbial dietary supplement that beneficially affects the host."
CFUs -- or colony-forming units -- is a microbiological term that describes the density of viable bacteria in a product. In other words, the CFU tells you how rich in probiotics a food actually is -- and how much will be available to your body.

Scientists studying the power of probiotics to fight obesity got more than they bargained for: Not only does yogurt make mice slimmer; it also makes them sexier.
From the web
For most people, the mention of probiotics conjures up images of yogurt. But don't dismiss the microbes as a marketing gimmick or food fad. The latest probiotic research suggests that live-active cultures of these friendly bacteria can help to prevent and treat a wide variety of ailments.
